Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt. One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen. v2: Update the documentation suggested by Tony Suggested-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Chen Gong <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

APEI Error INJection
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism
|
|
It is very useful for debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features.
|
|
|
|
To use EINJ, make sure the following are enabled in your kernel
|
|
configuration:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
|
|
CONFIG_ACPI_APEI
|
|
CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ
|
|
|
|
The user interface of EINJ is debug file system, under the
|
|
directory apei/einj. The following files are provided.
|
|
|
|
- available_error_type
|
|
Reading this file returns the error injection capability of the
|
|
platform, that is, which error types are supported. The error type
|
|
definition is as follow, the left field is the error type value, the
|
|
right field is error description.
|
|
|
|
0x00000001 Processor Correctable
|
|
0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal
|
|
0x00000008 Memory Correctable
|
|
0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
0x00000020 Memory Uncorrectable fatal
|
|
0x00000040 PCI Express Correctable
|
|
0x00000080 PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal
|
|
0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
0x00000200 Platform Correctable
|
|
0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal
|
|
|
|
The format of file contents are as above, except there are only the
|
|
available error type lines.
|
|
|
|
- error_type
|
|
This file is used to set the error type value. The error type value
|
|
is defined in "available_error_type" description.
|
|
|
|
- error_inject
|
|
Write any integer to this file to trigger the error
|
|
injection. Before this, please specify all necessary error
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
- param1
|
|
This file is used to set the first error parameter value. Effect of
|
|
parameter depends on error_type specified.
|
|
|
|
- param2
|
|
This file is used to set the second error parameter value. Effect of
|
|
parameter depends on error_type specified.
|
|
|
|
- notrigger
|
|
The EINJ mechanism is a two step process. First inject the error, then
|
|
perform some actions to trigger it. Setting "notrigger" to 1 skips the
|
|
trigger phase, which *may* allow the user to cause the error in some other
|
|
context by a simple access to the cpu, memory location, or device that is
|
|
the target of the error injection. Whether this actually works depends
|
|
on what operations the BIOS actually includes in the trigger phase.
|
|
|
|
BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
|
|
to control where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an
|
|
extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or
|
|
boot command line einj.param_extension=1). This allows the address
|
|
and mask for memory injections to be specified by the param1 and
|
|
param2 files in apei/einj.
|
|
|
|
BIOS versions using the ACPI 5.0 specification have more control over
|
|
the target of the injection. For processor related errors (type 0x1,
|
|
0x2 and 0x4) the APICID of the target should be provided using the
|
|
param1 file in apei/einj. For memory errors (type 0x8, 0x10 and 0x20)
|
|
the address is set using param1 with a mask in param2 (0x0 is equivalent
|
|
to all ones). For PCI express errors (type 0x40, 0x80 and 0x100) the
|
|
segment, bus, device and function are specified using param1:
|
|
|
|
31 24 23 16 15 11 10 8 7 0
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| segment | bus | device | function | reserved |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
An ACPI 5.0 BIOS may also allow vendor specific errors to be injected.
|
|
In this case a file named vendor will contain identifying information
|
|
from the BIOS that hopefully will allow an application wishing to use
|
|
the vendor specific extension to tell that they are running on a BIOS
|
|
that supports it. All vendor extensions have the 0x80000000 bit set in
|
|
error_type. A file vendor_flags controls the interpretation of param1
|
|
and param2 (1 = PROCESSOR, 2 = MEMORY, 4 = PCI). See your BIOS vendor
|
|
documentation for details (and expect changes to this API if vendors
|
|
creativity in using this feature expands beyond our expectations).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj
|
|
# cat available_error_type # See which errors can be injected
|
|
0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
0x00000008 Memory Correctable
|
|
0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
|
|
# echo 0x12345000 > param1 # Set memory address for injection
|
|
# echo 0xfffffffffffff000 > param2 # Mask - anywhere in this page
|
|
# echo 0x8 > error_type # Choose correctable memory error
|
|
# echo 1 > error_inject # Inject now
|
|
